)^eto York Central & ^udson 
I^ioer Railroad. 

THE FAVORITE ROUTE TO THE NORTH AND WEST. 




[HE main line of the New York Central & Hudson River 
Railroad extends from New York City to Buffalo, 440 
miles, traversing the eastern and middle portions of the 
Empire State from the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Erie. It 
is the only railroad, terminating at the harbor of New York, which reaches 
the Great Lakes over the territory of a single State, and is the only one having 
stations on Manhattan Island, or whose rails reach the waters of Long Island 
Sound. So much has already been said about the peculiarities of the Hudson 
River Division, that to detail them here would be superfluous. Leaving the 
Grand Central Station, in the centre of the City of New York, it passes over 
the most perfect urban tracks in America, crosses the Harlem River on an iron 
bridge, follows that stream and Spuyten Duyvil Creek, which forms the north- 
ern boundary of Manhattan Island, until it reaches the Hudson, where it joins 
the original tracks, extending along the river's bank to the heart of the business 
portion of the city, now used for freight trains and for local passenger travel 
south of Spuyten Duyvil. Having escaped from the boundaries of the metrop- 
olis at Yonkers, it hugs closely the eastern shore of the American Rhine — 
through tunnels, piercing mountains, and over bridges spanning numerous 
streams — past cities, towns and villages, many of them celebrated over more 
than one continent — never practically deviating from the dead level of tide flow 
along its margin, until it crosses the mighty river and enters the capital of the 
State, 142 miles from its point of departure. In addition to a double track 
throughout, the Hudson River Division has about 35 miles of third track and 76 
miles of sidings. Ferry connections are made at Tarrytown to Nyack ; at Garri- 
son's to West Point ; at Fishkill to Newburgh ; at Rhinebeck to Kingston, and to 
the Ulster & Delaware Railroad through the Catskills ; and at Catskill Station to

HEALTH AND PLEASURE RESORTS ON THE 




the village of Catskill, where 
connections are made with the 
Catskill Mountain Railroad for 
the Catskill Mountain resorts. 
At Dutchess Junction connec- 
tions are made with the New- 
burgh, Dutchess & Connecticut 
Railroad ; at Poughkeepsie, 
with the New York & Massa- 
chusetts Railroad; at Rhine- 
beck, with the Central New 
England & Western Railroad; 
at Hudson, with the Hudson 
and Chatham Branch of the 
Boston & Albany Railroad ; 
at Albany, with the Bos- 
ton & Albany Railroad ; 
and at Troy, six miles 
above Albany, with 
the Hoosac Tunnel 
Route into Massa- 
chusetts Cnnnpr Highlands of the Hudson ; View from trains on the New York Central. 

tions are also made at Troy with lines to Montreal and Canada ; to Saratoga ; to 
the Adirondacks, and through Vermont and New Hampshire, to the White 
Mountains. 

At Albany the line turns almost due west, and follows the natural route of 
communication between the Hudson and Lake Erie. The only heavy grade, 
and that insignificant when compared with those on other trunk lines, occurs 
between Albany and Schenectady, where the Mohawk and Hudson found it 
necessary to commence operations with inclined planes, but this is soon over- 
come, and the valley of the Mohawk is reached at Schenectady. This beautiful 
river is followed for 92 miles to near Rome, and there it is deserted for the 
waters of Oneida Lake, and at Syracuse, 38 miles further, Onondaga Lake is 
touched. Both of these lakes are drained into Lake Ontario by the Oswego 
River. Skirting the Seneca River and its tributaries, which drain Seneca, 
Cayuga, Owasco and Skaneateles Lakes into the Oswego River, the line reaches 
Rochester, on the Genesee River, near Lake Ontario, 81 miles from Syracuse. 
The mountain range, which bars the continent from near the Canadian border 
down to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and which is such a serious barrier to 
every other line of railroad connecting the Atlantic seaboard with the Mississippi 
Valley, is imperceptibly passed at Little Falls Station, midway between Albany 
and Syracuse, where the Mohawk flows through a natural break in the chain. 



NEW YORK CENTRAL & HUDSON RIVER R. R. 11 

From Rochester the main lines runs direct to Buffalo, 69 miles distant, while a 
second line runs, by way of Lockport, to Niagara Falls and Suspension Bridge, 
connecting there with the Canada railroads, and thence to Buffalo. Between 
Albany and Buffalo there are four tracks on the main line, and most of the 
branches have double tracks. At Buffalo the New York Central & Hudson River 
Railroad unites with the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, the central link in the 
Vanderbilt System — which runs through Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, with 
branches penetrating all portions of Central and Southern Michigan, to Chicago, 
Illinois. At Cleveland, the Lake Shore line connects with the Cleveland, Cincinnati, 
Chicago & St. Louis Railway, "Big Four Route," which forms the southwestern 
extension of the Vanderbilt System, reaching all the cities named, and, by con- 
nections, every portion of the Mississippi Valley. At Dunkirk, the Dunkirk, 
Alleghany Valley & Pittsburg Railroad, one of the lines leased by the New York 
Central & Hudson River Railroad Company, connects with the Lake Shore. 

Connection is also made at Buffalo with the Michigan Central Railroad — 
another link in the Vanderbilt System, which traverses the Dominion of Canada 
for 226 miles; crosses into the State of Michigan at Detroit; extends northward 
to the Straits of Mackinac which unite Lakes Huron and Michigan ; throws out 
branches to Toledo, in Ohio, and to most of the important towns in Michigan, and 
continues on to Chicago and Joliet, in Illinois. 

Minor branch lines of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Com- 
pany are intersected between Albany and Buffalo as follows ; Geneva to Lyons, 
connecting the Auburn and the main lines ; Rochester to Charlotte, on Lake On- 
tario ; Canandaigua to Buffalo, via Batavia ; Rochester to Canandaigua, connecting 
with the Northern Central Railroad of the Pennsylvania System; Batavia to 
Attica ; Lockport to Tonawanda, and Suspension Bridge to Lewiston, a port on 
Lake Ontario. 



Grand central station. 

This immense building, almost a city in itself, is so large in all its details and 
so admirably proportioned that only a careful examination gives an adequate 
idea of its vastness. Within its walls are contained practically everything that 
is necessary for the well-being of a large community, except sleeping accommo- 
dations, and through its waiting rooms and exits, tens of thousands of travelers 
pass every day. So perfectly planned for its purpose and so thoroughly built is 
it, however, that an army of officers and clerks find it one of the quietest and 
pleasantest working places in New York. Not a sound of the immense traffic 
reaches the ears of the general officers of the company, though they can step to 
their windows at any hour of the day, and look down upon trains arriving and 
departing with crowds of passengers from all parts of the country. 

The location of Grand Central Station is, however, its unique advantage. It 
is quite possible that a station might be planned which in all other respects 



12 



HEALTH AND PLEASURE RESORTS OX THE 




NEW YORK CENTRAL & HUDSON RIVER R. R. 13 

equalled this building, but there is not in America to-day another such location. 
Standing, as it does, almost exactly in the centre of the population of the city, 
with the greater part of the fashionable residence portion above it, and all of the 
business portion below it, Grand Central Station is exactly the right thing in the 
right place. 

A traveler can arrive in the early morning here, get his breakfast in the res- 
taurant, and then start down-town in a cab, or on the street cars or by the Third 
Avenue Elevated Railway, without even stepping from under cover. He can 
reach any probable destination in the city within half an hour, and even on a 
rainy day without wetting the sole of his shoe. If he arrives, accompanied . by 
ladies, in the afternoon or early evening, to attend an entertainment, he will find 
any number of carriages awaiting him under the big awnings, and will be at 
his entertainment in from five to twenty minutes. If his final destination is 
New England, he can change cars without leaving the station, or can reach 
almost any part of Brooklyn by a transfer over the Brooklyn Bridge and by the 
Brooklyn elevated railroads, without even descending to the sidewalk. 

The most remarkable and fortunate fact concerning this station is that it is 
not only in exactly the ideal spot for a railroad station in New York City, but it 
is also the only station on Manhattan Island. If there were twenty stations, none 
could have a better location ; but there are no others. 

A few details concerning the building will naturally be of interest. 

Grand Central Station, which is the New York City passenger terminus of 
the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, is situated at Fourth Avenue 
and Forty-second Street, the very centre of the city. 

It contains the general offices of the New York Central & Hudson River 
Railroad, The New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R. and the New York & 
Harlem R. R., with their hundreds of employees. The financial offices of the 
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern R'y, Michigan Central R. R. , Canada Southern 
R. R. , and several other companies are also located in this building, as well as the 
offices of the Westcott Express Company and the New York Transfer Company. 
The Western Union Telegraph Company and Wagner Palace Car Company also 
have offices in the building. 

In the basement, there is, at the north end, the station of the 23d Sub-Pre- 
cinct of the Police Department of New York, and on the Forty-second Street 
front a large restaurant. 

Directly opposite Grand Central Station are the general offices of the West 
Shore Railroad and the Wagner Palace Car Company. 

The New York Central & Hudson River Railroad makes connection at Grand 
Central Station with all trains on the New York, New Haven c% Hartford and 
New York & Harlem Railroads, and from the east side of the Annex, and under 
the same cover, the cars of the Third Avenue Elevated Railway start, making 
connection for the extreme southern part of the city and Brooklyn, as well as the 



14 HEALTH AXD PLEASURE RESORTS ON THE 

northern portion of the city. The cars of the Fourth Avenue surface railroad 
leave from the Annex, and run down Fourth Avenue through the Bowery to 
City Hall and the Post Office. The Forty-second Street surface line passes in 
front of the Station, and crosses every north and south line of surface as well as 
of elevated railroads. The Boulevard cars also pass in front of Grand Central 
Station on Forty-second Street, running west to Seventh Avenue, and thence 
north to the end of the Boulevard. The Madison Avenue cars also pass in front 
on Forty-second Street, and run north on Madison Avenue to Mott Haven Station. 
Another line of cars leaves in front of the Station for the 34th Street and 23d 
Street ferries on the East Side, and crosses to the steam-ship docks and Hoboken 
and Jersey City ferries on the West Side. 

Grand Central Station has a frontage of 374 feet on 42d Street, and a depth 
of 688 feet on Vanderbilt Avenue, embracing a superficies of 257,312 square feet. 

It is estimated that on an 
average 50,000 persons per 
day arrive at and depart 
from this station. During 
every working day an aver- 
age of 245 trains (about 800 
g|k cars) arrive at and leave the

For the accommodation of up-town residents, the New York Central & Hud-

New York and Chicago Limited, now stop. 

Tickets reading to New York by the New York Central & Hudson River 
Railroad or the Harlem Railroad, will be available on all trains either to the 
Grand Central Station or to the 138th Street Station as preferred if presented on 
trains scheduled to stop at the latter stations. 

The Madison Avenue street-cars run into the station enclosure at 138th Street, 
and this station is also easily accessible by taking street-cars on Third Avenue to 
the corner of 138th Street, Carriages will be at the up-town station upon arrival

The building occupies about one acre of land, and is unquestionably the finest

EASY CURVES 

AND 

LIGHT GRADES. 



There is a feeling of great fatigue upon the completion of a journey in 
the most luxurious cars over the very best constructed railway, if that rail- 
way does not possess easy curves and light grades. The 
New York Central & Hudson River Railroad occupies the 
natural easy-grade highway between the shores of the 
Atlantic and the entire- West, skirting along the world- 
famed Hudson River and passing through the lovely valley of the Mohawk. 

The New York Central's four distinct and complete tracks upon this natural 
highway is a noble compensation for the tardiness of inventive genius in provid- 
ing the improved system of transport by steam and rail that now spreads like the 
meshes of one vast net over every civilized country on the face of the globe.

'HE tourist, whose point of departure is 
the Grand Central Station, in the City of 
New York, possesses advantages which 
are unequalled in this country, and, prob- 
ably, in the world. No matter what the 
motive of his journey may be — whether 
he be in search of health, recreation, social 
enjoyment, or all combined, he is able 
from this point to carry out his plans at 
a minimum expenditure of time, trouble 
and money. The most powerful engines, 
the most handsomely equipped and com- 
fortably appointed coaches, the most solid of road-beds, and the most thoroughly 
organized system of railway transportation, insuring at once speed, safety and 
comfort, are at his disposal. Nor can he from any other point find such easy 
access to so great an aggregate of varied attractions. Does he long for the 
combined beauties of hill and dale, mountain and stream ? He finds them all at 
the very outset of his journey, as he is borne along the banks of the world-famed 
Hudson. Does he find a peaceful enjoyment in the silence of pathless forests, 
or in floating upon the bosom of placid lakes ? If so, the wilds of Northern 
New York will fill the cup of his desire to overflowing. Is he charmed by 
the majestic grandeur of lofty mountains and deep gorges ? Let him hasten 
to the Adirondacks or the Catskill Mountains. Is he a disciple of Nimrod or 
Izaak Walton ? The north woods and the St. Lawrence will give him a joyful 
greeting. Does he seek social intercourse and renewed vigor, or is he an invalid 
in quest of restored health amid peaceful and attractive surroundings ? Saratoga, 
Richfield, and Sharon throw wide their portals and bid him enter. Each and all 
of these famed resorts, and many others almost equally delightful, can be reached 
in a marvelously short time, without fatigue, by the tourist who seeks the 
comforts and luxuries which have been provided for his use by the New York 
Central & Hudson River Railroad Company. 

When the traveler has comfortably ensconced himself in the palatial coach 
from which he need not emerge until his destination is reached, he has nothing 
to do but enjoy to the fullest extent his luxurious surroundings. A shout of 
" All Aboard ! " from the conductor, and a moment later the long train is

heart of the busy, feverish metropolis to the cool woods and green lields of which 
those whom it is hearing away from the city's noise and hurry are so earnestly 
longing. Soon the iron steed crosses the shallow but sparkling Harlem, and 
then follows its course until its waters mingle with those of the majestic Hud- 
son. Quicker and quicker becomes the breathing of the engine; faster and 
faster grows the easy, gliding motion of the train, as it rolls past the steep, 
rocky hillsides on the right, while the threatening battlements of the Palisades 
rise in bold relief against the sky on the further bank of the noble river. For 
twenty miles these natural ramparts guard the western shore, rising to a height 
of three hundred feet and effectually estopping the traveler from a view of the 
country beyond. Past field and w r ood, past hill and dale teeming with historic 
memories dating from Aboriginal, Colonial, and Revolutionary days, the train is 
swiftly whirled. The w r ooded hills upon the right are thickly dotted with the

NEW YORK CENTRAL & HUDSON RIVER R. R. 23 

About two miles above Mount St. Vincent, seventeen miles from New York, 

is Yonkers, beautifully situated on villa-crowned slopes at the mouth of the Nep- 

perhan or Saw Mill River. It has a population of about 
YONKERS. l l 

30,000, and contains several fine churches, excellent hotels 

and many elegant residences. It has gas, water-works, and a police depart- 
ment, the latter being connected by telegraph with police head-quarters in 
New York City. Many important manufacturing establishments are located 
here, among them being mower and reaper works, silk, carpet, and hat factories, 
machine and elevator works, and the shops of the Eagle Pencil Company. 
Yonkers is an ancient settlement, and was the home of Mary Phillipse, the first 
love of George Washington. The manor of Colendock, comprising 2,400 acres, 
and in colonial days the property of Patroon Van der Donck, was the original site 
of this flourishing city. 

Hastings, most romantically situated, is a thriving village of about 1,800 
population. Proximity to New York and frequent train service renders it pecu- 
liarly desirable as a suburban residence. A number of

of New York business men, and like all places within easy distance of New 

York, is rapidly taking on the aspect of metropolitan life.

Washington Irving, whose gifted pen has immortalized many of the neighboring 

localities, anions; them the far-famed "Sleepy Hollow"

and "Wolfert's Roost." " Sunnyside " cottage, renowned 

as the home of Irving, is close by, near the margin of the river, almost hidden 
from view by the dense growth of the surrounding trees and shrubbery. A 
flourishing ivy vine, which half conceals the east end of the house, is the product 
of slips planted by Irving, which he secured from Sir Walter Scott on the occasion 
of his visit to Abbottsford. Lyndehurst, the old Paulding Manor, now the prop- 
erty of Jay Gould, is perhaps the most conspicuous of the many fine residences 
in the vicinity of Irvington. 

Just above, twenty-nine miles from New York, is Tarrytown, delightfully 

situated on an elevated plateau overlooking the wide

been carried to a successful issue, the whole succeeding history of our country

dashes by the cold gray walls of the prison, and we almost 

imagine we can hear the clank of chains and the shuffling of feet. The town itself 
is very beautiful, many elegant residences rising on the long upward slope from 
the river and having a magnificent view. The Croton aqueduct passes through 
Sing Sing and is carried over a ravine by a stone arch 70 feet in height and hav- 
ing a span of 88 feet. Across the river is Haverstraw Bay, into which the 
gallant explorer Hendrick Hudson sailed centuries ago, and finding no outlet, 
thought he had arrived at the head waters of the " Shattemuc, " as the Indian 
termed the Hudson. His mistake was afterwards emulated by Peek, a bold 
Dutch adventurer, who, having discovered another tributary to the river, 
thought it the main stream. His name and memory are perpetuated by the vil- 
lage of Peekskill. 

Continuing the journey, Croton Station, Cortlandt, and Montrose, popular 
suburban places with many handsome villa residences, are passed in quick suc- 
cession, and the traveler is at the gates of the romantically beautiful region 
known as the Hudson Highlands. 

One of the prettiest towns on the Hudson, situated at the mouth of the Peek's 

Kill or Annsville Creek, is Peekskill, a bustling and thriving place of about 

7,000 inhabitants. Its history dates back to a period an-

it played an important part. On the old Van Cortlandt farm, two miles north of

Many Revolutionary heroes are buried in the surrounding churchyard. Leaving

At Garrisons connection is made by ferry with West Point, the site of the 
United States Military Academy and of a fortress erected during the War of 

west point Independence. The site commands one of the finest river 

passes in the world, and the academy is located upon a 
plateau 180 feet above the river. It was established in 1802. The fort and a 
chain stretched across the river by the patriots were captured by the British in 
1777, but were abandoned after Burgoyne's surrender. Stronger works were 
then erected by the Continental forces, and these Arnold bargained to betray to 
the enemy, but his scheme was foiled by the capture of Andre. 

West Point is located in the very bosom of the Highlands, and is their chief 
attraction. It is a bulwark of the nation in more senses than one, and a favorite 
resort with summer pleasure-seekers. 

The vicinity abounds in delightful walks and drives, and within easy access 
are the ruins of Forts Montgomery and Clinton on opposite sides of Popoloken 
Creek. Near by, too, is Bloody Pond, which the simple country folk still believe 
to be guarded by the ghosts of Hessian soldiers, while Sugar Loaf and Anthony's 
Nose raise their lofty crests in the background. An object of much interest to 
visitors is an old furnace used during the Revolution for casting cannon and other 
warlike material for the patriot army. 

Many are the pleasant memories and lasting associations connected with West 
Point, the Military Academy, and the neighboring hills and valleys, which have 
re-echoed to the strains of " Benny Havens, Oh !" issuing from the throats of 
generation after generation of buoyant and gallant cadets, many of whom have 
since achieved world-wide distinction, and these historical and social surroundings 
make West Point and its vicinity an oasis in the wilderness of the Highlands. 

Three miles above Garrisons is Cold Spring, a picturesque village with a 

resident population of about three thousand, which num-

Fishkill is a thriving village in Dutchess County, surrounded by fine scenery 
and containing many handsome residences. The Verplanck House, two miles 
northeast of the landing is interesting as having once 
been the head-quarters of Baron Steuben, of Revolutionary 
fame. Connection is made here by ferry with Newburgh, which is located upon 
the western bank of the river. The latter town contains about 25,000 inhabi- 
tants, and has several large manufacturing enterprises. Hendrick Hudson 
was so much impressed with this locality that in 1.609 he wrote of it as 
follows: "It is as beautiful a land as one can tread upon ; a very pleasant 
place to build a town on." Newburgh was the scene of many interesting 
events during the Revolutionary War, and "Washington's head-quarters, an old 
gray stone mansion south of the town, is still preserved under the ownership 
of the State.

centre, and includes several large manufacturing establishments within its limits, 
among which are the large Buckeye Mower and Reaper Works of Adriance, 
Piatt & Co. , the- works of the Poughkeepsie Glass Company, which lias one of 
the largest melting furnaces in the country ) the rolling mill of the Phoenix 
Horseshoe Company, and several large shoe factories and knitting mills. Pough- 
keepsie is also noted for its educational institutions, foremost among which is 
Yassar College, for young ladies, which is situated about two miles east of the 
station, and is reached by horse-cars. The main building, modeled after the 
Tuilleries, is 500 feet long and five stories in height. The college has several 
hundred students, and is celebrated for its thorough educational facilities. 

Prominent among the features of Poughkeepsie must be mentioned the great 
bridge spanning the Hudson at this point. In magnitude, boldness of design or 
beauty of shape and situation, it is not surpassed by any other completed bridge 
in the world. * 

Five miles above Poughkeepsie is Hyde Park, an attractive village containing

has a front of four miles on the Hudson. Beautiful scenery abounds in the vicinity, 

and there are many pleasant and romantic drives in the neighboring country. It 

is also the terminus of the Ulster & Delaware and the Walkill Valley railroads. 

Passing by the stations of Barrytown, Tivoli, Germantown and Linlithgo, 
the traveler next reaches Catskill Station, 111 miles from 
New York, which connects by steam ferry with Catskill 
proper, the capital of Greene County. This is the 
landing-place for thousands of tourists who annually visit the Catskill Moun- 
tains lying a few miles to the west.

Hudson, finely situated upon a bold, rocky promontory at the head of the 

ship navigation on the river, is one of the oldest cities in the State, having been 

incorporated in 1785, and has about 15,000 inhabitants. 
HUDSON. 

In years gone by it had a large amount of shipping 

engaged in foreign trade and the whale fisheries. It is now chiefly engaged in 

the manufacture of iron and the export of agricultural staples. At this point 

connection is made with the Boston & Albany Railroad. 

The quaint old village of Claverack, in Columbia County, is located four 

miles inland from Hudson, and is a historic place. In the present era, however, 

its chief claim to distinction lies in the fact that it contains within its limits the 

celebrated " Claverack College, and Hudson River Institute," a prosperous and 

well-conducted school for both sexes, which has attained a national reputation. 

The handsome and substantial college buildings, surrounded by beautiful and 

well-shaded lawns, and commanding most charming views of the romantic 

scenery in which the neighborhood abounds, are the features of the village. 

The old Dutch Church, with its staring date of 1767 on its western side, shines 

out in old-fashioned red among the towering oaks that keep ward over it and its 

adjoining cemetery. On an opposite crest is "Fairview," the stately mansion 

built by the late Dr. Flack, who was the founder of the college, and its 

president for more than thirty years. Down the village street are the residences 

of the decendants of the Muhlers, the Ostranders, and the Van Rensselaers, and 

in a quaint old yellow-brick dormer- windowed house are to be seen the lares and 

penates of Gen. James Watson, and other distinguished — Webbs. The "Spook 

Rock, " in a shady swirl of the Claverack Creek, is visited on moonlight nights 

by the neighboring swains and their sweethearts, who linger to see it turn in its 

shiny bed when it hears the Institute bell. 

Resuming the journey, the hamlets of Stockport, Coxsackie, Stuyvesant, 

Schodack, and Castleton are quickly passed, and the train rolls into the station at

THE BEAUTIFUL IVjoHAWK VaLLEY. 

FROM ALBANY TO UTICA. 

ENTRAL and Western New York abounds in varied and 
beautiful scenery. Smiling valleys, wooded hills, spark- 
ling rivers, and dimpled lakes are seen on every hand as 
the traveler is carried swiftly past the enchanting and 
ever-changing landscapes. 

Albany, one of the most flourishing cities in the East 
and the capital of New York State, is situated on three 
hills on the west bank of the Hudson, six miles 
ALBANY. below the head of tide-water, and at the point 

where the Erie and Champlain Canals join the river. Founded by 
the Dutch as a trading-post in 1614, and called Fort Orange, it is the 
oldest surviving European settlement in the thirteen original States 
— Jamestown, Va., founded seven years earlier (in 1607), having long- 
ceased to be inhabited, only the ruins of a church tower and a few 
tombstones remaining to mark the spot. In 1644 its present name 
was given it, in honor of the Duke of York and Albany (afterwards James II. ). 
It was chartered in 1686, and became the State capital in 1797. Owing to its com- 
manding position at the head of navigation on the river, Albany is most advan- 
tageously situated for commerce, and is the chief emporium for the transit trade 
of the coast towns with those of the North and Northwest. It is also the centre 
in which a number of railways meet, connecting it with the East by the Boston 
& Albany and the Fitchburg Railroads ; with the North and Canada by the Dela- 
ware & Hudson Canal Company's Railroad ; with the West and South by the 
New York Central & Hudson River Railroad ; with the Southwest by the Albany 
& Susquehanna Railroad. It has water communication with the North by the 
Champlain Canal ; with the West by the Erie Canal, and with the South by the 
Hudson River. There are two bridges over the Hudson, built by the New York 
Central & Hudson River Railroad. Tourists from the North, East, and South, 
bound for Sharon Springs, Cooperstown, and Otsego Lake, can quickly reach 
their destination by taking the Albany and Susquehanna Division of the Dela- 
ware & Hudson Canal Company's Railroad. Of the public buildings the New 
Capitol, recently built, is a very large and imposing edifice, covering more than 
three acres of ground, and is one of the finest and most expensive buildings in the 
State.

is the seat of Union College, one of the oldest educational 
institutions in the country, many of whose graduates have attained prominence in

National and State affairs. There are also extensive iron and locomotive works 
and car shops here, employing several hundred men. The burning of Schenec- 
tady and the massacre of its inhabitants, which took place February 9, 1690, was 
one of the tragic events which marked the early struggles of European nations 
for supremacy on this continent. The invaders were Frenchmen and Indians 
from Montreal, under the command of Lieut. Le Moyne de St. Helene, who 
passed down to the Mohawk by way of Lake Champlain and the trails branching 
southward from the head of that lake. The march was made on snow-shoes and 
was one of the most notable undertakings in the early history of border warfare. 
Success depended on surprising the town at night and preventing any adequate 
defence. The surprise was complete, and only sixty, old people and children, 
were spared. Connection is here made with the Delaware & Hudson Canal Com- 
pany's Railroad for Balston and Saratoga. 

Crossing the iron bridge that spans the Mohawk River at this point, the 

tourist is borne rapidly through a delightful section, and

Speeding through a beautiful region for twelve miles, the train glides through 
the suburbs of a city, and soon draws up in the station at Utica, the county seat 
of Oneida County, and containing a population of about 
40,000. At the time of the Revolution, Utica was a fron- 
tier trading post and the site of Port Schuyler, built to guard the settlement 
against the French and Indians. The city is regularly and handsomely built, 
rises from the south bank of the Mohawk River to an elevation of 150 feet. 
Among its buildings are six large hotels, cotton mills, woolen mills, and a State 
lunatic asylum. Utica, being in the centre of a great dairy region, has become the 
most important cheese market in the United States. It is also the centre of an 
important railway and canal system. 

At this point connection is made by means of the Black River Division of 
the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad, with Trenton Falls, Lyon's 
Falls, the North Woods, and the Thousand Islands, and with Richfield Springs, 
Norwich, and Binghamton by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad.

Leaving Rome, the hamlets of Green's Corners and Verona are passed, and 

the train halts at Oneida, a thriving town in Madison 

' County, and the junction of the New York Central and the 

New York, Ontario & Western railroads. The town has a population of about 

8,000, and is the centre of a nourishing country trade. 

Passing the station at Wampsville, the village of Canastota is reached. 

Connection is here made for Oneida Lake, Cazenovia, Cort-

wending its way through the suburbs of the enterprising and prosperous city of 

Syracuse, which is located at the head of Onondaga Lake 

SYRACUSE 

and at the junction of the New York Central & Hudson 

River, Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western 
railways. Situated in the heart of New York State, it has been appropriately 
named the "Central City." The wonderful growth of Syracuse for the past 
twenty years entitles it to rank amongst the foremost cities of the East. It lias a 
population of nearly one hundred thousand, and is one of the leading manufac- 
turing towns of the country. For a long period Syracuse practically controlled 
the salt product of the United States ; in fact, it was that which first gave the 
place its importance. The existence of the vast and important salt springs of 
Onondaga was known to the Indians at an early date, and was by them imparted 
to the Jesuits in 1654. In 1794 the State took possession of the springs, and laws 
were passed for the conduct of the manufacture. Although a score of companies 
are now engaged in this industry, it constitutes a comparatively small factor in 
the commercial interests of the city, there being at the present time over five 
hundred industrial establishments there, giving employment to not less than 
twenty thousand people. The manufactories of Syracuse comprise Bessemer 
steel works, rolling mills, hardware specialties, cutlery, fruit canneries, 
breweries, and mower and reaper works. The chemical works of the Solvay 
Process Company, the largest establishment of its kind in the country, are also 
located here. The city is handsomely laid out, and contains many handsome 
public buildings and private residences. From Syracuse, west, there are two 
routes to Rochester. Through passengers take the main line ; but travelers

the leading manufacturing cities of the country, and has a 

population of nearly 150,000. It was founded in 1802, by Colonel Nathaniel 
Rochester, a representative pioneer of the Genesee country, received its charter as 
a city in 1834, and has since increased in population and importance with marvel- 
ous rapidity. The splendid water power furnished by the Genesee River, together 
with unexcelled transportation facilities and the fertility of the surrounding 
country, has contributed very largely to its growth. The city covers an area of 
about seventeen square miles, and is laid out chiefly in squares, with streets from 
60 to 100 feet wide, shaded by beautiful trees. It abounds in handsome and 
tasteful residences, winch are for the most part surrounded by carefully tended 
lawns and gardens ; its magnificent fire-proof office buildings and warehouses 
are a credit to the city and equalled by few, even in the metropolis. 

In the centre of the city are the upper Falls of the Genesee, a perpendicular 
cataract of ninety-six feet, over which Sam Patch made his last and fatal leap ; 
two other falls of eighty-four and twenty-five feet respectively, are a mile and a 
half below, the river running through a deep gorge in its limestone banks from 
one hundred to two hundred and twenty feet high. 

Among the prominent public institutions of the city are the State Industrial 
School, two large Hospitals, Institution for Deaf Mutes, and charitable organiza- 
tions of every description. The principal business thoroughfare, Main Street, is 
in the centre of the city, and crosses the river over a handsome iron bridge. 

The manufactures of Rochester are extensive and varied. In earlier years, 
flour was the chief product, giving it the title of the "Flour City," and although 
now dwarfed by other industries, it is still of great importance, there being no 
less than eighteen mills in the city. The nursery trade of Rochester is not sur- 
passed by that of any other place in the world ; the suburbs are highly cultivated,

to five hundred acres. Other important industries are cotton and paper mills, 
breweries, oil refineries, boot and shoe, clothing, furniture, perfumery, and 
tobacco manufactories. More clothing is manufactured in Rochester than in any 
other city in the United States. 

A prominent feature of the city, attracting thousands of visitors daily, is the 
great Powers Art Gallery. It is the private property of Mr. D. W. Powers, and

Leaving Skaneateles Junction, the train passes the station of Sennett, and' 
a few moments later enters the station at Auburn, a handsome city of about 
30,000 inhabitants, situated near Owasco Lake, whose 
outlet flows through the city, furnishing a water power 
which neither rains nor drought materially affect. It is employed in mills of 
various kinds, and in manufactures of avooI, cotton, carpets, paper and agricul- 
tural implements. Within sight of the station is located one of the largest 
prisons in the State ; covering 18 acres of ground, enclosed by a wall 3,000 feet 
long, and from twelve to thirty-five feet high. 

Auburn was for many years the home of the late William H. Seward, whose 
grave is in the cemetery on Fort Hill. 

Connection is here made with the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Owasco Lake, 
three miles south of Auburn, a further description of which will be found on 
page 114, is a popular resort, much frequented by summer visitors. 



The hamlet of Aurelius is next passed, and then, after crossing a bridge 
nearly a mile in length, the train reaches Cayuga, located on the beautiful lake 
of the same name. Connection is made with Aurora and

When Batavia is left in the distance, the train, after a run of thirty -five miles 
through a fertile farming region dotted with hamlets and villages, enters the 
station in the large and thriving city of Buffalo, which 
contains a population of more than 260,000, and is the third 
city in size in the State of New York. It is located at the mouth of Buffalo 
River, at the eastern end of Lake Erie, and the head of Niagara River, and pos- 
sesses the largest and finest harbor on the lake. The city has a water front of 
about five miles, extending two and one-half miles along the shore of the lake and 
two and one-half miles along Niagara River. The unrivalled position of Buffalo 
at the foot of the great chain of lakes, and at the terminus of several important 
railway systems, gives it great commercial importance, and it is to this, more 
than to anything else, that the city is indebted for her prosperity. 

The principal manufactures of Buffalo comprise starch, soap, lumber, copper,

in 1814. It was granted a city charter in 1832, J0 
and since then its growth has been very rapid. 

The climate of Buffalo is temperate, and in summer 
it is especially pleasant. The city is handsomely laid 
out, and the streets are broad and generally lined with 
trees, and are well paved, lighted and sewered ; 63 miles are paved with asphalt 
(more than any other city in the world) and 120 miles paved with stone. It con- 
tains many fine residences with attractive grounds, and numerous handsome public 
squares. The city possesses a superb system of parks and pleasure grounds, 
designed and laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted, the architect of Central Park 
in New York City. It comprises three sections, situated respectively in the 
northern, western and eastern parts of the city, which, with the connecting 
boulevard, afford a drive of nearly ten miles. The principal thoroughfares are 
Main Street, about two miles in length, Niagara Street, four miles, and Delaware 
Street, three miles. The six public squares are named Niagara, Lafayette, Frank- 
lin, Johnsons, Prospect and the Terrace. 

The prominent public buildings are the City and County Hall, a magnificent 
granite structure fronting on Franklin Street, completed in 1880 at a cost of 
nearly $1,500,000 ; it is built in the form of a double Roman cross, with a tower 
245 feet high; the United States Custom House and Post-office, at the corner 
of Washington and Seneca Streets ; the Board of Trade Building, in Seneca Street ; 
the Buffalo Library, on Lafayette Square ; the State Arsenal, in Broadway ; 
the Erie County Penitentiary, one of the six penal establishments of New York ; 
the General Hospital, in High Street, and the State Asylum for the Insane, 
an edifice which cost about $3,000,000 ; it is located in Forest Avenue, adjoin- 
ing the Buffalo Park. The city also possesses several handsome churches and 
theatres. 

Connection is made at Buffalo with the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and 
the Michigan Central Railroads for Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. 
Louis and the West. A journey of twenty-two miles over the Buffalo, Niagara 
Falls, Suspension Bridge and Lewiston Branch is all that is necessary to reach 
the greatest cataract of the world, and America's most famous natural wonder.

The trip over the Falls Division, or the direct route from 
Rochester to Niagara, is also made through a charming section. 
Seventeen miles west of Rochester the 
delightful village of Brockport is reached. 
It is beautifully situated in the midst of a country teeming 
with abundant harvests, and inhabited by a prosperous and 
contented population. It contains many features of interest. 
Here is located a State Normal school and several extensive 
manufactories of agricultural implements. 



ALBION. 




Still proceeding westward, we come to Albion, the capital of 
Orleans County. This village is attrac- 
tively laid out with wide streets, shaded 
by large trees, and contains many handsome residences, several 
churches, a female seminary, banks, newspapers, etc 



Moving onward, the train halts at Medina, a 
pleasant town of 5,000 inhabitants, noted for its 
quarries of dark-red sand- 
stone Located in the 
midst of a fine fruit country, it has the reputa- 
tion of being one of the best fruit markets in the 
State. 



MEDINA. 



LOCKPORT. 



After leaving this town the stations of Mid- 
dieport and Gasport are passed, and the next 
stop is at Lockport, a 
beautiful and prosperous 
city of 20,000 inhabitants. At this point the 
railroad crosses the Erie Canal by a bridge five 
hundred feet long and sixty feet in height. The 
canal falls sixty feet in a short distance, and 
has five combined double locks. Its surplus 
water is distributed through a hydraulic canal 
three fourths of a mile long to the various manu 
factories of the city, which comprise the works 
of the Holly Manufacturing Company, the 
Westerman Rolling Mill, the Indurated Fibre Company, the Cascade Wood-pulp 
Mill, and many others. This immense water power is the chief source of the 
city's prosperity, affording it unexcelled facilities for manufactories of every kind. 
The railroad company has recently completed a handsome new passenger station 
at this place.

Eleven miles beyond Lockport is the hamlet of Sanborn, and then Suspension 

Bridge looms in sight. This village is a port of entry on the Niagara River, 

nearly opposite the lower rapids, two miles below the

cataract, at a i unction .of the New York Central Railroad 
BRIDGE. 

with the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, which crosses 

the river on a suspension bridge more than eight hundred feet long and two 

hundred and fifty feet above the water. The railway bridge is eighteen feet 

above the bridge used for carriages and foot passengers. 

Three hundred feet above the old Suspension Bridge, and in full view of the 
falls of Niagara, is located the great Cantilever Bridge, built by the Michigan 
Central Railroad, and completed in November, 1883, forming the connecting 
link between the New York Central and Michigan Central Railroads. 

This remarkable structure is recognized as the greatest triumph of modern 
engineering, and has attracted in a greater degree, perhaps, than almost any 
work of the century, the attention of the scientific world, and brought interested 
visitors to the spot from all quarters of the globe. 





The principle of the Cantilever Bridge is that of a trussed beam, supported 
at or near its centre, with the arms extending each way, and one end anchored 
or counterweigh ted, to provide for unequal loading. Each end is made up of a 
section entirely of steel, extending from the shore nearly half way over the 
chasm. Each section is supported near its centre by a strong steel tower, from 
which extend two lever arms, one reaching the rocky bluffs, the other projecting 
over the river 175 feet beyond the towers. The outer arm having no support, 
and being subject, like the other, to the weight of trains, a counter advantage is 
given by the shore arm being firmly anchored to the rocks on the shore. The 
towers on either side rise from the water's edge ; between them a clear span of 
495 feet over the river, the longest double-track truss-span in the world. The 
ends of the cantilevers reaching on each side 395 feet from the abutments, leave 
a gap of 120 feet filled by an ordinary truss bridge hung from the ends of the

cantilevers. Provision is made for expansion and contraction by an ingenious 
arrangement between the ends of the truss bridge and of the cantilevers, allow- 
ing the ends to move freely as the temperature changes, but at the same time 
preserving perfect rigidity against side pressure from the wind. From the 
tower foundations up the whole bridge is steel, every inch of which was sub- 
jected to the most rigid tests from the time it left the ore to the time it entered 
the structure. The total length of the bridge is 910 feet. 

Four hundred and forty-seven miles from New York is Niagara Falls, the 
most inspiring natural wonder known to man. The Niagara River, extending 
from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, a distance of thirty 
miles, has a total fall of three hundred and thirty-four 
feet ; the greater part of the descent being confined within a distance of seven or 
eight miles. The rapids are so strong two miles above the falls as to entirely 
prevent navigation. There are three distinct cataracts. The Horseshoe Fall, so 
called from its crescent shape, is by far the largest, and is in the direct course of 
the river; it is two thousand feet wide and one hundred and fifty -four feet high. 
The American Fall is six hundred and sixty feet wide, and the Central Fall two 
hundred and forty-three feet, each having a fall of one hundred and sixty-three 
feet. The New York Central has recently completed a handsome and perfectly 
appointed passenger station at Niagara Falls, to replace the one destroyed by 
fire some months ago. A more detailed description of Niagara, its glory and 
majesty, will be found on page 101.

ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS. 

TT7HE Adirondack Region and the Great North Woods, or, as it is often called, 
X "John Brown's tract," in the State of New York, may well be termed "The 
Sportsman's Paradise. " Located within the borders of the most populous State 
of the Union, and within a few hours' ride of several of the largest cities of 
the Western Hemisphere, it still retains all the characteristics of the primeval 
forest, and he who plunges into its depths can readily persuade himself into the 
belief that he is likely at any moment to come upon the phototypes of "Uncas" 
or " Leatherstocking, " immortalized by the gifted pen of Fennimore Cooper. 
This famous and interesting portion of our territory is bounded on the south by 
the Mohawk Valley,' through which runs the New York Central & Hudson 
River Railroad, the greatest highway of the nation ; on the east by Lakes 
George and Champlain, and the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's Railroad ; 
on the north by the St. Lawrence River, and on the west by the Black River and 
the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad. 

The charms of this vast region are becoming more familiar to thousands of 
the lovers of nature and of out-door life yearly, but for those who have never 
penetrated its recesses we quote the eloquent words used by the Hon. Verplanck 
Colvin in 1879, in submitting to the Legislature his report as Superintendent of 
the New York State Adirondack survey. He says : 

Few fully understand what the Adirondack wilderness really is. It is a 
mystery even to those who have crossed and recrossed it by boats along its 
avenues — the lakes — and on foot through its vast and silent recesses, by follow- 
ing the long line of blazed or axe-marked trees which the daring searcher for the 
fur of the sable or the mink has chopped in order that he may find his way 
again in that deep and often desolate forest. In these remote sections, filled 
with rugged mountains, where unnamed waterfalls pour in snowy tresses from 
the dark, overhanging cliffs, the horse can find no footing, and the adventurous 
trapper or explorer must carry upon his back his blankets and a heavy stock 
of food. His rifle, which affords protection against wild beasts, at times 
replenishes his well-husbanded provisions, and his axe aids him in constructing, 
from bark or bough, some temporary shelter from storm, or hews into logs the 
huge trees which form the fierce, roaring, comfortable fire of the camp. Yet, 
though the woodman may pass his life-time in some section of the wilderness, 
it is still a mystery to him. Following the line of axe-marks upon the trees ; 
venturing along the cliff -walls of the streams which rush, leap on, leap down- 
ward, to form haughty rivers ; climbing on the steep wooded slopes which 
never knew form or name on maps, he clings to his trapping line, and shrouded 
and shut in by the deep, wonderful forest, emerges at length from its darkness 
to the daylight of the clearings like a man who has passed under a great river

or arm of the sea through a tunnel, knowing little of the wonders that had 
surrounded him. It is a peculiar region ; for though the geographical centre 
of the wilderness may be readily and easily reached in the light, canoe-like 
boats of the guides, by lakes and rivers which form a labyrinth of passages for 
boats, the core, or rather cores of this wilderness, extend on either hand from 
these broad avenues of water, and, in their interior, spots remain to-day as 
untrodden by man, and as unknown and wild as when the Indian paddled his 
birchen boat upon those streams and lakes. 

The healthfulness of this enchanting section has become proverbial. The 
pure mountain air, fragrant with the balmy odors of cedar and spruce, the 
cool, sparkling water, bubbling from a thousand hidden springs, the freshness 
and charm of nature, unsullied by the art of man, are here offered as a free 
gift to anyone who will enjoy them. Truly, here is the fountain of perennial 
youth ! Many who have tasted its joys can bear glad testimony to the benefits 
derived from a temporary sojourn in this wilderness. Constitutions enfeebled 
by too close application to the common affairs of every-day life, and brains 
exhausted by excessive mental work, are here speedily restored to health and 
vigor. Pulmonary complaints are greatly relieved by the soothing properties 
of the balsamic air. 

The scenery in the Adirondack region is wonderfully varied. In the valleys 
between the mountains lie many beautiful lakes and ponds, more than one 
thousand in number. The general level of these lakes is about 1500 feet above 
the sea, but Avalanche Lake, the highest of them, has nearly twice that eleva- 
tion. Some of them are twenty miles in length, while others cover only a few 
acres. The largest of these lakes are Long Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, the 
Saranacs, Tupper, the Fulton Lakes, and Lakes Placid, Loon, Oalden, Hender- 
son, Sanford, Eckford, Raquette, Forked, Kewcomb and Pleasant. 



PATHWAYS INTO THE ^difjoNdacKS. 

Only within a few years the Adirondack Railway, a standard gauge route, 
which extends northward from Saratoga sixty miles to North Creek, has come 
into prominence as a means of speedily reaching many points in the most pic- 
turesque and retired portions of the wilderness hitherto practically beyond the 
range of the general tourist and the invalid. 

Through sleeping car service is maintained from New York to the northern 
terminus of this railway, over the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, 
the Delaware & Hudson Railroad, and the Adirondack Railway at Saratoga, thus 
forming a through unbroken route, and enabling passengers destined for Blue 
Mountain Lake and beyond to reach that beautiful sheet by tally-ho at noon the 
day following the evening of departure.

small but exceedingly picturesque body of water suggestive of Switzerland's 
famed resort. The principal hotels are Rockwell's and the Wayside. 



NEW YORK CENTRAL & HUDSON RIVER R. R. 57 

A tally-ho line of stages meets the north-bound trains over this road at River- 
side, connecting that point with Pottersville at the foot of Schroon Lake, a dis- 
tance of seven miles. The small but handsome steamer "Effingham" completes 
the journey to Schroon Lake Village at the further extreme of the lake where 
several extensive hotels are located. 

Blue Mountain Lake, which is reached by tally-ho from North Creek, the 
terminus of the Adirondack Railway, is one of the most beautiful of the mag- 
nificent system of lakes and streams for which this region is famous. It is oval 
in shape, with an extreme diameter of about three miles, and lies at an elevation 
of about 2,000 feet above the sea. It has three hotels ; the first one reached be- 
ing Holland's Lake House, recently rebuilt and thoroughly refurnished. The 
Blue Mountain House stands upon a lofty site upon the flanks of the mountain ; 
at this house the rates for board are exceptionally low. The Prospect House, 
which is one of the largest and finest hotels in the entire Adirondack region, 
occupies a fine location near the shore of the lake, and is the centre of a large 
and fashionable clientage of tourist travel. 

The Blue Mountain & Raquette Lake Steamboat Line performs double daily 
service during the summer between the two lakes, passing through Eagle and 
Utowana Lakes, and down the pretty Marion River, the two boats of the line 
being connected by a "carry," which is a novel and acceptable diversion with 
excursionists who make the voyage. This forms a memorable single day's trip 
from Blue Mountain Lake, opportunity being given to see the handsome "camps" 
or artistic log villas for which Raquette Lake is famed, and also to get a good 
dinner at either of the small but excellent wildwood hotels upon the lake. 

Forked Lake is connected with Raquette by a half mile carry. Guides lead- 
ing parties down the Raquette River to Long Lake and the Tupper Lakes, pass 
through Forked Lake en route. A more direct route to Long Lake is by stage 
from Blue Mountain Lake to the village of Long Lake, from which it is but a 
short ride in a skiff to the large Sagamore Hotel. 

Adirondack Village, Indian Pass and Mt. Marcy are also reached by this 
route, besides Smith's Lake, Moose Lake, Lake Sanford, Lake Colden, Lake 
Henderson, the sources of the Hudson, and Fulton Chain Lakes. 

For Chateaugay Lake, Loon Lake, Rainbow Lake, Paul Smith's, Lake Placid, 
the Saranac and Tupper Lakes a favorite route is over the New York Central & 
Hudson River Railroad to Troy, thence by the Delaware & Hudson to Pitts- 
burgh, where connection is made with the Chateaugay Railroad, which has 
lately been extended through the mountains to Saranac Lake, affording direct 
rail communication with the most famous hunting and fishing localities of the 
North Woods. Through sleeping cars run by this route between New York and 
Plattsburgh under fast schedules. 

From Loon Lake Station a short stage ride of three miles conveys the traveler 
to Loon Lake, which is two and a half miles long and three-quarters of a mile

wide, and lies at an altitude of 1,800 feet above tide level. Its shores are irregu- 
lar arid rocky, and are surrounded by a rich growth of ^T(^n forest. The Loon 
Lake House is one of the handsomest and best equipped of summer hotels, and 
is also one of the best patronized. Game is abundant in the vicinity and troul 
fishing in the lake and neighboring streams is unexcelled. From this point the 
trip can be made to St. Regis Lake or Rainbow Lake via boat and a regular sys- 
tem of "carrys." A delightful stage ride of six miles from Bloomingdale Station 
leads to Paul Smith's on St. Regis Lake, one of the most widely known and fash- 
ionable of Adirondack resorts. 

Paul Smith's is probably the objective point for more health and pi 
seekers than any other point in the Adirondacks. The accommodations at the 
hotel are excellent, and the best fishing and hunting grounds are in the immedi- 
ate vicinity. It is the great distributing point for the lak< 
comfortably reached by fast express trains over the New V'ork Central & Hudson 
River, the Delaware 6c Hudson and the Chauteaugay Railroads, via. Plattsburgh, 
and also by the New York Central <k Hudson River, the Rome, Watertown & 
Ogdensburg and the Northern Adirondack Railroads, via Utica and Mbira June 
tion. Through sleeping cars will be run between New York and Paul. Smith's 
Station by the latter route during the season. 

The St. Regis lakes are among the largest and finest in the region, and their 
elevation, about 1,800 feet, deep in the heart of the wilderness, with the peculiar 
dry, balmy air of the spruce and pine forests, have brought them into promi- 
nence as a retreat for sufferers from pulmonary and throat troubles, second to no 
other health resort. From these lakes, too, under the escort of an Adironi 
guide, short trips can be made to regions 50 dark and wild, and Jake--: and ponds 
so primitive, that no sign of man or his work is to be seen. Here are found 
waters teeming with trout, and forests where deer and other large game are ap- 
parently as plentiful as when the aboriginal hunters and trappers roamed their 
depths.

The tourist destined to the Tupper Lake Region can reach his destination by 
proceeding to the southwestern end of Upper Saranac Lake, thence via Sweeney's 
carry and the Raquette River, down which a small steamer runs to Cronk's on 
Tupper Lake. The best route from New York, however, is via the New York 
Central to Utica, thence via the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg and Northern 
Adirondack Railroads to Tupper Lake Station. Arrangements have been made 
to run sleeping cars by this route through from New York to Tupper Lake dur- 
ing the season. 

It is a pleasant ride of eight miles from Saranac Lake Station to Lake Placid, 
which is the great central point of the region. The tourist should see as many 
places of interest as possible, but no stranger should go to the Adirondack Moun- 
tains without visiting Lake Placid. There are several large hotels here ; the fish- 
ing is good and the scenery glorious. 

Au Sable Chasm is reached via Port Kent, a station on the Delaware & Hud- 
son Railroad, where connection is made with the Keesville, Au Sable Chasm & 
Lake Champlain Railroad. This beautiful wonder of Nature's handiwork is 
the channel which the Au Sable River has carved for itself in its rapid flow to 
its outlet in Lake Champlain. The chasm, which is almost two miles in length, 
is a narrow ravine or canon with sides of solid rock, the mountain precipices of 
which tower in some cases nearly 200 feet above its dark waters, the top being- 
fringed with cedars whose sombre shadows add to the mysterious and awe- 
inspiring grandeur. This marvel of nature has been justly considered one 
of the great natural wonders of the world, and, as the register kept at the 
hotel indicates, draws to it annually thousands of visitors from all parts of 
the United States and Europe. No traveler or lover of fine scenery should 
omit visiting it. 

A regular system of guides and boat service is maintained through all the 
Adirondack lakes, via "carrys" through the forest, thus affording the visitor to 
the woods a pleasant experience never to be forgotten.

BURLINGTON, VT-, 

Is delightfully situated on a hill 367 feet in height, which rises from the shores 
of Lake Champlain, and commands an extensive view of water and landscape. 
The city is regularly laid out, and contains many handsome churches and resi- 
dences. The large and imposing Van Ness and American Houses on the south- 
west corner of the great public square in the centre of the city are reputed to he 
the most convenient and thoroughly appointed hotels in Vermont. Burlington 
was once the home of that gallant Revolutionary patriot, Colonel Ethan Allen, 
and his body now lies in the Green Mountain Cemetery, near the city, marked 
by a granite monument erected to his memory by the State of Vermont. 

The charming country adjacent to the city furnishes many romantic drives 
and walks ; those leading along the Winooski River and to Shelburne Point and | 
Harbor are, perhaps, the most attractive. Mallett's Bay, eight miles distant, 
is a beautiful sheet of water. One may also take the steamers across Lake 
Champlain to Port Kent (Au Sable Chasm), Plattsburgh and the Adirondacks. 
Burlington is reached by the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad in 
connection with the Delaware & Hudson and Central Vermont routes.

CATSKlLL IVJOUNTAINS, |\l. Y. 

<^OWN through mossy forest and shady glen, in the enchanted 
region of perpetual coolness and refreshing breezes, the 
sparkling streams dash and tumble, and wind-swept 
heights uplift themselves far above the heat and worry 
of the every-day life of the plains. 

That's how an enthusiast once spoke of the towering 
Datskills, and there are many thousands who declare he knew whereof he spoke. 
When all the rest of the world is hot and muggy, the Catskills are cool and 
refreshing. 

There brisk breezes are always to be found and shady nooks and lovely walks 
ind fine drives. It is, indeed, an enchanted region. 

And there, just as everywhere else, active preparations are being made for 
j;he accommodation of the thousands who will fly to these rocky fastnesses for 
'pure, invigorating mountain air when the suns of summer blister and scorch 
(New York.

expects to attract many boarders to its eyrie, 3,000 feet

HOTELS. 

the place so interesting last summer will be found there 

his summer, too — the band, the hops, the concerts, the tennis lawn, etc. In 

jhis great caravansary there are accommodations for 1,500 guests. 

The Catskill Mountain House, on the eastern ledge of the mountains, 2,250 
eet above tidewater, will be under the same management as last summer. It is 
low being got in readiness for the season. It is one of the most attractive 
esorts on the mountain, commanding, as it does, a magnificent view of the Hud- 
on Valley, the Adirondacks to the north, the Green Mountains and the Berkshire 
lills to the east, and the Highlands to the south. Then there is around these 
wo great mountain houses a grand park of five square miles of forest and lawn, 
nd transversed in all directions by shady walks and pretty drives. 

Then there are its two lakes for those who delight to bathe, swim or fish. 

In the heart of the Catskills, on a terrace of Summit Mountain, 2,500 feet 
bove tide level, is the new Grand Hotel. It stands in the centre of a group of 
iwering peaks, and from its broad piazzas are magnificent views in every 
irection. 

Mr. Harvey S. Denison will manage the hotel again this summer, and prom- 
ts additional attractions to those of last year — billiards, bowling, tennis, 
coquet, music, hops, concerts, etc.

MORE HOTELS. 



As to the other hotels that can be found in every corner of the Catskills, it is 
enough to say that their proprietors and managers all look 
forward to a successful and a crowded season. Some of 

them have accommodations for fifty or sixty guests, but the majority of them 

can take over a hundred. 



As for boarding-houses, the Catskills may be said to literally teem with them. 
They are on every side — in front of you, behind you, to 
the right of you, to the left of you, above you on the 
mountain tops, below you in the valleys. 



BOARDING- 
HOUSES GALORE 



ONTEORA. 



Onteora, or Hills of the Sky, is the pretty Indian name of what promises to be 
one of the most charming spots in the Catskills. This spot comprises over one 
thousand acres of land on the great high plateau at Tan- 
nersville, within only five hours' ride of New York, and 
has been purchased by a syndicate of New York gentlemen, who mean to make 
it a great summer colony. This syndicate is known as the Catskill Camp and 
Cottage Company, and one of its most active and enthusiastic members is its 
treasurer, Mr. F. B. Thurber, the well-known grocer. Mr. T. M. Wheeler is 
president, Mr. S. D. Coykendall vice-president, and Mr. Henry Martin secretary. 

As its name indicates, this company intends to build cottages and camps for 
winter as well as summer occupancy on its property. The project has been 
received with a great deal of favor, and bids fair to assume much greater pro- 
portions than Mr. Thurber and his confreres anticipated. Indeed, the demand 
for cottages is greater than the company can supply. 

"Located as this section is, but five hours from New York, it has a greater 
elevation and is cooler than the most frequented part of the Adirondacks, and is 
a veritable paradise for children and for the business or professional man who 
must often visit New York and yet desires to be with his family in the country 
as much as possible. The New York daily papers arrive by 10 
A. M., telegraph, express and railway communication at hand, 
with a local telephone to points on the Hudson River. It seems 
hardly credible that a region in 
which bear and deer are still 
found should exist within five 
hours of the chief city of the 
nation, and that scenery, equal- 
ing in many respects that of 
Switzerland, and possessing both 
a historic and legendary ^ 

interest, should be so little 
known and frequented by r-^j 
the present generation." ^

ITHACA, N- Y- 

Ithaca, appropriately named from its resemblance to that rock -bound town of 
ancient Greece, the home of Ulysses the Sage, is a thriving and handsome village, 
situated in the broad plain at the head of lovely Cayuga Lake. It is celebrated 
as the seat of Cornell University, and is surrounded by some of the most pictur- 
esque scenery in the State. 

Within a radius of ten miles about Ithaca are found 150 waterfalls in dark 
gorges and beautiful glens, all of them easily accessible, and each possessing 
some peculiar feature of interest in connection with its surroundings, while 
many of them have special characteristics, which, independent of the rest, 
attract visitors and captivate them by the beauty and grandeur of their scenery. 
Of the last mentioned the most noted are found in Ithaca Gorge, in which the 
water falls 400 feet in one mile over seven distinct falls. 

Starting from the foot of the gorge, a short but rapid rise leads to The Eest, 
a broad terrace, which commands a delightful view of the town and valley on 
one side and of the beautiful and grand Ithaca Fall on the other.

i tourist to Penn Yan, a pleasant and busy manufacturing village at the foot of 
ke Keuka, in the famous vineyard region of the State. 

There are extensive graperies upon Seneca Lake, but to see the vintage at its 
3t and to study the process of wine-making, Keuka should be visited when, in 
; still September days, her hillsides are resonant with the song of the pickers 
d the busy steamboats are piled high with crates of the luscious fruit. But 
:uka is interesting at any period of the summer. Along the twenty-two miles 

her length are several good hotels, with the allurements of good fishing, 
:nteous fare and pure upland atmosphere. The shores are dotted with bright 
de cottages, and an effort is now being made to give Keuka something the 
nplexion of Chautauqua. 

Good roads lead from the lake away through the fine agricultural regions of

The leading hotels are the Fairchild House, at Hammondsport, head of the

|VjlAGARA FALLS, |\l. Y- 

Niagara Falls is recognized as the greatest natural wonder in the -world, and 
s the objective point of tourists from the most remote parts of the earth. The 
nighty volume of water which forms the outlet of great Lakes Superior, 
Ylichigan, Huron and Erie, is here precipitated over a precipice 160 feet high, 
vith a roar which may be heard, under favorable circumstances, a distance of 
if teen miles. Anthony Trollope wrote: "Of all the sights on this earth of 
mrs, which tourists travel to see, I am inclined to give the palm to Niagara 
|i.n the catalogue of such sights I intend to include all buildings, pictures, 
statues and wonders of art made by men's hands, and also all beauties of Nature 
prepared by the Creator for the delight of His creatures. This is a long word, 
Dut, as far as my taste and judgment go, it is justified. I know of no other one 
hing so beautiful, so glorious and so powerful. " 

This mighty cataract is 447 miles from New York (within a single day's 
journey), and is reached most directly by the New York Central & Hudson 
River Railroad, of which it forms the western terminus. 

In 1885 the State of New York acquired by purchase all the property on the 
American side adjacent to the Falls, including Prospect Park, and all the 
unsightly structures which heretofore obstructed the view have been removed, 
'uid a handsome terrace constructed for a distance of half a mile up the river. 

It seems presumptuous to attempt a description of these world-renowned 
Falls in a meagre sketch, as volumes portraying their grandeur and magnificence 
night be written, and yet fail in conveying to the perception a clear and succinct 
mtline of their wonderful proportions and great sublimity. To be properly 
xppreciated they must be visited, and when once viewed the recollection of the 
visit will linger long in memory. 

There is some uncertainty about the sex of Niagara. Is it Cleopatra, a queen 
)f the sea, with the serpentine tresses ? The full curves are feminine certainly. 
Or is it a sleeping Hercules, with tangled beard and knotted muscles ? Perhaps 
)oth, for the Falls are double and essentially different, combining two great 
livisions of water scenery : the excitable, impulsive, fickle, endless fancies 
)f the rapids, and the slow, wheel-like, unceasing, unfeeling, unvarying curves 
}f the Falls themselves. Father Hennepin, its first white visitor, dared not 
aame the spectacle. He could not tell what title to give it, so he called it still

'.ut is it good to go often and sit down under its vast rock pulpit, and even to 
ill asleep when the wind blows amid its dull, solemn roar, which is so unlike 
lat of the sea — as children used to sink to rest under the old Puritan divines, 
ot grasping their meaning, or even remembering their words, but carrying 
way ever an ineffaceable and holy impression of power divine. 

No trip to Niagara Falls is now complete without a ride over the Lewiston 
Sranch of the New York Central, which extends from Niagara Falls to Lewis- 
)n, a distance of seven miles, along shelving rock overlooking the magnificent 
3enery of the Niagara Gorge, and in full view of Queenston Heights, the 
Whirlpool Rapids, and Brock's Monument. 

Eiver-view trains, equipped with observation cars, are run at frequent 
itervals, and a pleasure steamer on Niagara River connects with observation 
•ains, making trips to Brock's Monument, Queenstown, and to the outlet of the 
ver at Lake Ontario, Fort Niagara, Youngstown, etc.

Ontario, seven miles from the city of Rochester. The surrounding country is as 
fertile as a garden, and a ride or walk in the vicinity presents' scenes of beauty 
and varied color that none can fail to admire and enjoy. The village itself, 
with its well-shaded streets, tasteful houses, and public-spirited citizens, makes 
an ideal summer home. 

Directly upon the shore of the lake, about a half-mile distant from the village, is 
the commodious and elegant Hotel Ontario, which was erected in 1884, at great 
expense. It is handsomely furnished and fitted throughout, and contains all the 
latest appliances for the comfort and pleasure of patrons. A large dancing 
pavilion, near the hotel, for the use of excursion parties, is connected with bowl- 
ing alleys, billiard rooms and the like, and, though separate from the hotel itself, 
these means of recreation are close at hand. The beach, at the point where 
the hotel is located, is exceptionally fine for bathing, and the facilities for 
boating and fishing are unsurpassed. Two hundred guests can be accommo- 
dated with ease, and the trains of the New York Central, after making a detour

HEALTH AND PLEASURE RESORTS ON THE 



Richfield springs, |\I. Y- 

Richfield Springs is among the Otsego hills and lakes, in the county of that 
name, very near the centre of the State of New York. It is fourteen miles from 
Cooperstown, and but six miles from the famous Otsego Lake, renowned for 
romance of the past, and picturesque beauty now and always. 

It is most directly accessible by the New York Central Route, over which 
through drawing-room cars run in connection with the Delaware, Lackawanna <k 
Western Railroad, from Utica, a distance of fifteen miles. 

No scenery is perfect without a sheet of water in the landscape, and Richfield 
Springs is so happily located that this requirement is also fulfilled. The village 
is located on the shore of Canadarago Lake, one of the prettiest sheets of water 
in America. Being five miles long by about two miles wide, it is sufficiently 
large for boating, whether with canoes, skiffs, sail boats or steam launches and 
yachts, while its expanse is not sufficient to make its waters dangerous or even 
unpleasantly rough, from any winds that can reach it in its mountain setting. 
It is a bowl of water of crystal clearness, rimmed by picturesque and protecting 
hills, in whose shadows one can creep through all the sunshine hours. It is the 
delight alike of the artist and the tourist. A beautiful island is encircled by its 
pellucid water, breaking its smooth surface and adding much to the charm of 
the view.

The Springs, which add a great and unique attraction to the scenic and sani- 
tary advantages of this secluded and yet accessible and brilliant vacation home, 
are the leading Natural White Sulphur Fountains of the North, and are not sur- 
passed either in the value or the celebrity of their waters by any sulphur springs 
in the world. Though alike in general characteristics, these sixteen springs in 
or near the village, differ widely in their special properties. While their waters, 
intelligently used, are healthful to everybody, cleansing and toning up the sys- 
tem, they are especially valuable as alteratives or blood purifiers, and in all kinds 
of rheumatic affections. 




Street Scene, Richfield Springs. 



Indeed experience has abundantly shown that they positively cure rheuma- 
tism, gout, malaria, neuralgia, dyspepsia, catarrh, liver and kidney complaints, 
■and all diseases of the blood, while they have no superior in cases of consump- 
tion and nervous disorders resulting from impaired nutrition. As a safe retreat 
•for the victims of hay-fever, Richfield Springs is unsurpassed. The summer 
hotels are large and modern, with the very best service and reputation.

round lake, N- Y- 

This lake, as its name indicates, is nearly circular in form and about three 
miles in circumference. It is the headquarters of the celebrated Round Lake 
summer schools, which are in session about three months every year, and are in 
charge of a faculty of forty of the best teachers of the country. The grounds 
are in an extensive forest tract bordering the lake, and contain a large summer 
hotel, a fine museum, art school and costly memorial building. The streets are 
regularly built, running at right angles, and are lined with cottages, making 
altogether a village of considerable size, which presents a unique appearance, 
embowered, as it is, in the woods, with the throng of visitors and residents who 
enliven its sylvan glades in great numbers from June until late in September. 
Private board and lodging may be obtained in cottages at very reasonable rates. 
An expensive system of sanitary drainage has recently been completed, adding 
to the salubrity of the place and making it a delightful and healthful summer 
resort.

SARATOCA SPRINCS, 




CKNOWLEDGED the most popular and

centre each season of the highest social 
* and political gatherings. The broad piazzas 
of the vast hotels present a panorama of the 
best and most varied types of our leisurely

Seneca Lake, |\l. Y. 

EYOND a . doubt Seneca Lake is one of the most remarkable 
bodies of water in this country. It is forty miles in length, and 
the water is of great purity and depth.. Its shores are grand 
and picturesque, consisting f of a succession of hills and 
promontories sweeping back from the lake in graceful lines, 
their sides thickly wooded in some places, in others covered 
?ith well-tilled farms and vineyards. 

The steamers of the Seneca Lake Navigation Company, large and shapely in 
ppearance, connect with New York Central trains at Geneva for Watkins and 
titermediate points, a voyage of forty miles. This is a most enjoyable detour, 
•nd the time devoted to a round trip from Geneva will not be regretted by the 
over of the picturesque. The scenery, as the. boat progresses toward the head 
)f the lake, grows hourly more charming and effective. Upon the numerous 
: orest-covered points projecting into the blue waters of the lake, marking the 
ieep glens sure to be hidden among the verdure of the slope, are pretty hotels,

HEALTH AND PLEASURE RESORTS ON THE 



THE THOUSAND Islands of THe St. Lawrence. 




CAPE VINCENT, CLAYTON, ROUND ISLAND (THE 

FRONTENAC), THOUSAND ISLAND PARK 

AND ALEXANDRIA BAT. 



LAYTON, the railroad terminus to the renowned 
Thousand Island resorts, is situated on the St, 
Lawrence River, 108 miles north of Utica, and is 
reached via the New York Central to Utica 
thence by the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg 
Railroad. For through parlor and sleeping car 
service between New York and Clayton, the reader 
is referred to the folders of the New York 
Central & Hudson River Railroad. Clayton is 
a charming village of about 3,000 inhabitants, and dur- 
ing the season of summer travel is a gay and animated town. It 
is at this point that tourists embark on the Royal Mail steamers 
for the trip among the islands and through the rapids to Montreal and 
Quebec. Here, too, passengers for Round Island Park, Thousand Island 
Park, Central Park and Alexandria Bay take passage on the Thousand Island 
Steamboat Company's popular line of steamers, for the famous resorts down the 
river. Geographically considered, the location of Clayton is unsurpassed. It is 
situated on a bold peninsula jutting out into the pure waters of the most majestic 
of American rivers. Broad bays, both to the east and west, afford a variety of 
coast suited to the various wants of man. 

Its three hotels — the Hubbard House, the "West End and the Walton House- 
are well and favorably known to all acquainted with the beauties of this region. 
They are conducted with the utmost care and skill, and guests will find them 
both comfortable and home-like. 

Directly in front of the town beautiful islands, upon which summer houses 
have been erected, form a most pleasing contrast to the wide stretch of water 
above. 

Round Island, a ten-minute ride from Clayton, shows the tower of its exten 
sive new Frontenac, the latest and most tasteful hotel improvement upon the 
river. Mr. E. D. Dickinson, a well-known hotel manager, 
assumes charge this season. All modern improvements! 
including an elevator have just been added. Sixty picturesque cottages dot the, 
island. The tourist who has once tarried beneath the roof of the FrontenflC,\ 
explored the picturesque nooks upon the island, fished in the immediate vicinity,! 
and gained a taste generally of the quality of summer life here, may be safely

Nobby Island, Thousand Islands. 



NEW YORK CENTRAL & HUDSON RIVER R. R. 129 

Hotel accommodations are of the first-class. The fame of the Thousand 
Island House exceeds the limits of the continent. It occupies a commanding 
position on the banks of the river, affording its guests enchanting views of the 
lovely scenery which surrounds it on every side. Hay-fever and malaria are 
unknown here. This hotel is now the property of Mr. R. H. Southgate of the 
Hotel Brunswick, New York, and has been entirely refitted and refurnished to 
suit the best custom of the country, special regard being paid to the comfort of 
families. 

Mr. Southgate has successfully managed large city and summer resort prop- 
;rties, and acquired the Thousand Island House for the reason that he regards 
Alexandria Bay and the Islands of the St. Lawrence as the most attractive resort 
:or health and pleasure seekers in the country. 

The handsome Crossmon House stands upon a point looking out towards the 
■iver and the busy little bay from which the place derives its name. Mr. Chas. 
1 Crossmon, the son of the hale old founder of the property, is the active 
nanager, and to his energy and ability are chiefly due the marked and growing 
success which attend the ' ' Crossmon. " 

Still another hotel which has become far-famed for its generous hospitality 
md home-like comforts, supplied at rates which all will consider reasonable, is 
he Marsden House, which, although only recently opened to the public, has 
ilready become a favorite with tourists. People of quiet tastes, fishermen and 
mnters will find the Marsden House just such a place as they "long have 
■ought," and generally sought in vain. 

The name of the Cornwall Brothers is familiar to all former visitors to Alex- 
andria Bay. Well known as reliable merchants of long standing, they furnish 
upplies to camping parties and residents of the islands at the most reasonable

At no other place in the Western Hemisphere can seekers after health and 
)leasure find both in greater measure during the summer months, than among 
he Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence. 

The name is in some respects a misnomer, for there are nearly two thousand 
<f these islands altogether, and probably one thousand within a half-dozen 
ailes from Alexandria Bay. Nearly all are small, varying in size from a surface 
f a few yards square in extent to several acres. Many are separated only by 
hannels so narrow as to be invisible at a short distance. As a general thing 
hey are well-wooded and cool ; inviting inlets and bays are numerous, where 
he ardent fisherman can enjoy his favorite sport to the top of his bent. 

Several of the islands are of considerable extent, the largest being Wellesly 
.sland, the lower end of which is just below Alexandria Bay. It is eight miles

long, and four miles wide at some points. It contains a number of farms whici 
have been cultivated for fifty years. At the lower end of the island is West- 
minster Park, owned by members of the Presbyterian denomination. It has 
many delightful drives and several fine buildings. 

Other notable points are Royal Island, owned by Mr. R. E. Deane, of New 
York, situated about two miles from Alexandria Bay ; Pullman Island, at which 
General Grant and a party of friends were entertained by Mr. George M. Pull- 
man ; St. John's Island, the property of Judge Charles Donohue, of the New 
York Supreme Court, who has erected a handsome cottage on his water-bound 
domain, and is constantly making improvements. One of the most eligible sites 
is Nobby Island, owing to its position and natural formation. It is the property 
of Mr. Henry R. Heath, of Brooklyn, who has devoted much time and money to 
its adornment. He also owns the noted Devil's Oven Island, so termed because 
for several months the water cave lying underneath it was the hiding-place of 
the pirate, "Bill Johnson," who, during the patriot war of 1837-'39, is said to have 
set on fire and destroyed the British steamer, " Sir Robert Peel, " on the south 
side of Wellesly Island, in the month of May, 1838. Aided by his devoted daugh- 
ter, he succeeded in eluding his pursuers, and made his escape. 

Other lovely and noted spots in this vicinity are ' ' Bonnie Castle, " which 
was the summer home of the late Dr. J. G. Holland, the popular author and 
lecturer; "Fairy Land," belonging to the Messrs. Hayden, of Columbus, 
Ohio, and "Sport" Island, which is the property of Mrs. H. E. Packer, of 
Mauch Chunk, Pa. It would be difficult to enumerate in detail a full list 
of all the lovely villas between Clayton and the "Bay," and in the vicinity of 
the latter. 

A fast evening train, with through sleeping cars, will leave New York by the 
New York Central during the season, arriving at Alexandria Bay for breakfast. 

Return fast train will leave Alexandria Bay in the evening and arrive in New 
York early next morning.

Toronto, the capital of the Province of Ontario, is situated on the northwest 
shore of Lake Ontario between the Don and Humber rivers. It is one of the 
largest and most prosperous of Canadian cities, and possesses many tine public 
buildings, churches, libraries and parks. 

The Niagara Navigation Company's palatial steamers "Chicora" and 
"Cibola" make three daily round trips between Toronto and Lewiston on tin 
American shore, where direct connection is made at the steamer wharf witli 
trains for Niagara Falls, fifteen miles distant. These trains are equipped with 
observation cars, affording grand views of the Niagara Gorge, Queenstown 
Heights, Brock's Monument and the Whirlpool Rapids. To persons contemplat- 
ing a visit to Toronto, this is commended as a particularly attractive route.

TRENTON Falls, [\l- Y- 

Much has been written about the far-famed Trenton Falls, situated on "West 
Canada Creek, and reached after a ride of eighteen miles from Utiea over the 
Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad. The beauty of this lovely spot has 
been recorded by the pens of such gifted writers as Mrs. Kemble, N. P. Willis 
and George William Curtis. 

' ' Poets' fancies only should image the falls, they are so rich and rare a com- 
bination of quiet picturesqueness, of beauty and a sense of resistless force in the 
running water. You descend from a lofty wood into a long rocky chasm, which 
the Germans would call a grund, for it is not a valley. It is walled and paye- 
mented with smooth rocks, and the thronging forest fringes the summit of the 
wall. Over this smooth pavement slips the river in those long, swift, still, foaru- 
less bounds, which vividly figure the appalling movement of a titanic serpent 
The chasm almost closes up the river, and you see a foamy cascade. Then, as if 
the best beauty and mystery were beyond, you creep along a narrow ledge on 
the rocky side of the throat of the gorge and reach the first large fall. A slight 
spray enfolds you as a baptism in the spirit of the place. Before you is a level 
parapet of rock ; and the river, after sliding very shallowly over the broad bed 
above, concentrates and plunges in a solid amber sheet. Close by the side of this 
you climb, and pass along the base of the overhanging mountain, and, stooping 
under the foot of an impending cliff, stand before the great fall, which has twc 
plunges, a long one above, from which the river sheers obliquely over a polishes 



NEW YORK CENTRAL & HUDSON RIVER R. R. 133 

oor of rock, and again plunges. The river bends here, and a high, square, 
;gular bank projects from the cliff, smooth as a garden terrace, and perpetually 
ailed and softened by spray. It is one of the boldest and most beautiful points 
i the long ravine, and when the late light of afternoon falls soft upon it, there is 
strange contrast in your feelings as visions of Boccaccio's garden mingle with 
ic wilderness of American woods. "

Watkins glen, N- Y- 

The lovely Village of Watkins at the head of Seneca Lake is the Mecca of a 
ist pilgrimage of those who halt here to explore its peerless glen. This remark- 
lie canon — a water- worn rift in the mountain side — is entered from its lower 
jrtals just at the head of the village. The coaches of the several hotels of the 
ace are always at the landing upon the arrival of boats, that of the Glen Moun- 
in House, located above and in the glen and operated in connection with the 
en property, being the usual one chosen by visitors. 

A pleasing and satisfactory feature connected with the romantic location of 
is hotel is the novelty of situation of the dining-room, which is in a Swiss 
inlet (such as is found among the mountains, lakes and glens of Switzerland) 
toss the glen from the hotel, whereby all unpleasant odors arising from cook- 
g, noise and confusion occasioned by servants, and heat from ranges and ovens, 
e wholly avoided, rendering the Glen Mountain House one of the most delight- 
illy cool and pleasantly situated summer hotels in the United States. 

The many picturesque features of Watkins Glen have been described by a 
ousand pens. Twere a pity that anyone passing through this region to whom 
a glen is not familiar should go from Seneca Lake without having set foot in 
is temple of Nature's handiwork. The glen may be "done " with a good pair 

lungs and equally good legs, in a couple of hours. It ought to occupy one a 
11 day. 

Watkins is reached via the New York Central to Lyons or Geneva ; thence 

iher by the Fall Brook Coal Company's Railroad or steamer on Seneca Lake, 

;o via the New York Central to Canandaigua, and the Northern Central Divi-

NEW YORK CENTRAL & HUDSON RIVER R. R. 185 



]\|ewYorkQentral9j^udsonI^iverRailroad 

TOURIST SEASON OF 1890. 



Special Information relating to the sale and nse of Tourists' Tickets. 



The special tickets described herein will be sold from June 1st to September 
30th, inclusive, and will be available until October 31st, inclusive (except in the 
case of steamboats or stages that discontinue their trips earlier). The tickets 
entitle holders to all the privileges of regular first-class tickets. 

Children between 5 and 12 years of age, half fare ; over 12, full fare. 

Stop over privileges are usually granted on summer tourist tickets ; but to 
avoid misunderstanding, passengers should notify the proper official of the train 
or boat of their desire to stop over, as the stop-over regulations of the various 
■lines vary. For a brief summary of the rules now in effect on the lines over 
which summer tourist tickets read, see pages 186 and 187. 

Summer excursion tickets during the season will be received for passage on 
the New York and Chicago Limited, when presented in connection with Extra 
Fare tickets, in the case of through tickets from the West ; or without Extra 
Fare tickets between New York State points, provided the Drawing-room or 
Sleeping Car tickets are presented in connection with the summer excursion 
tickets. 

Summer excursion tickets will be available on the New York and Saratoga 
Limited if presented in connection with Drawing-room Car tickets, as no ordi- 
nary coaches will be run on the Limited Trains. 

Through tickets by the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad are 
available between New York and Albany by the Day Line Steamers, or all rail, 
at the option of passengers. 

Tickets reading by the Delaware & Hudson Railroad will be accepted for pas- 
sage between Plattsburgh and Fort Ticonderoga, on Lake Champlain Steamers, 
and permit the. holder to remain over at Port Kent, thus affording holders an 
'opportunity to visit Au Sable Chasm. 

Tickets reading via Glens Falls and Lake George Stages, between Lake 
George and Caldwell, in either direction, will be accepted for passage on the 
Delaware & Hudson Railroad between the same points. 

Tickets to points on the Fall Brook Coal Co. 's R. R. reading to Geneva via 
Lyons, will be good from the East via Auburn, and from the West via Canan- 
iiaigua, if desired, without extra charge. 

Tickets between Cooperstown and Richfield Springs by the Otsego Lake 
steamer and stage, are for passage only ; baggage will be charged extra. 

Tickets reading by the Grand Trunk or Canadian Pacific Railway, or steamer, 
j between Toronto and Kingston, Kingston and Prescott, Prescott and Montreal, 
' )r Montreal and Quebec, are valid either by rail or by the steamers of the Riche- 
lieu & Ontario Navigation Company, at the option of passengers. 

On tickets reading over Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company's Steamers 
meals and berths are extra. 

Tickets by Sound Line Steamers between New York and Boston include a 
^erth. 

Summer tourists are reminded that many of the steamers and stage lines cease 
derations or make irregular trips after October 1st of each year. Passengers 
should consult local advertising matter for proper information. 



186 HEALTH AND PLEASURE RESORTS ON THE 



Stop-over Privileges on Summer Excursion Tickets. 



Note. — It should be understood that the stop-over privileges extended by the several lines 
(as noted below) require passengers to take such trains or boats as make stops regularly at 
the desired stopping-place. These stop-over privileges do not apply on tickets limited to con- 
tinuous passage.

Private Cars for Charter 

TO FAMILIES AND SPECIAL PARTIES. 

SHE WAGNER PALACE CAR COMPANY, with an enterprise that has 
marked every branch of its excellent service during the past two years, has 
placed in service, on the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad and con- 
necting lines throughout the United States and Canada, a number of private or 
special cars that are indisputably more comfortable in arrangement and more 
luxurious in appointments than any similar cars ever before offered for charter. 

Diagrams, showing the interior arrangement of three of these cars, are pre- 
sented on the opposite page in order to convey an adequate idea of the con- 
veniences provided for the comfort of the occupants of cars of this description, 
whether for a long or a short journey. Diagrams of other cars will be fur- 
nished on application. 

The demand from families, private parties and theatrical stars for the pri- 
vate cars owned by the Wagner Palace Car Company is steadily increasing, 
and for a party making an extended trip no other mode of traveling is at 
comparable. 

These private cars have been constructed upon plans approved by expe- 
rienced travelers, so as to insure all the comforts of a home or a first-class hotel 
that it is possible to realize in so restricted a space. They have large saloons or 
parlors, furnished with luxurious movable chairs, tables, reading lamps, etc. 
The private bedrooms have large beds and toilet conveniences. 

The kitchens are fully equipped, and experienced cooks, waiters and porters 
accompany the cars. 

If desired, the Company supplies the commissariat at cost, or persons char- 
tering a private car have the privilege of making their own arrangements for 
supplies. 

The observation ends, with sofas, easy chairs and large plate-glass end and . 
side windows, contribute to make a trip in a private car one of exceptional [ 
enjoyment. 

The cars accommodate from twelve to sixteen persons, in addition to attend- 1 
ants. For larger parties Elegant Palace Sleeping Cars, accommodating fromj

rence, the beautiful scenery of the Thousand Islands by daylight, and that most wonderful of 
Rivers THE SAGUENAY. 

This route possesses peculiar advantages over any other, as by it parties traverse the entire 
length of Lake Ontario and the River St. Lawrence between Niagara Falls and Quebec, with 
privilege at any point of continuing the journey by the Grand Trunk Railway, if desired, as 
tickets are made optional. 

The steamers of this line are unequaled, and from the completeness of their arrangements 
present advantages to travelers which none other can afford. The large and commodious 
Bessemer Steel Steamer "Canada" will be put on the Saguenay Route this season, affording 
greatly increased comforts and ample state-room accommodation to travelers.

140 Fifth Avenue, NEW YORK. 

THE MAIL AND EXPRESS is tlie best evening newspaper published 

* in America. It employs a larger staff 

of editors, correspondents and news gatherers than any other evening newspaper. 
It pays more money for news than any of its contemporaries. It is the only 
evening newspaper that has its own special correspondents in Europe, and pub- 
lishes exclusive cable dispatches. It is the only New York evening newspaper 
that maintains a Special News Bureau in the West and has its own correspond- 
ents in all the large cities between New York and San Francisco. It is "the 
model evening newspaper of America ! " 

THE MAIL AND EXPRESS employs a competent staff of news 

* gatherers in Washington. The daily 

dispatches from the national capital are the best printed in any New York news- 
paper. Capable correspondents are also on duty in Albany, Trenton and Harris- 
burg, and New England news is given considerable space. A large force of 
men is employed to report the day's doings on the various exchanges, and the 
critical departments, such as literature, science, art, music and the drama, are 
presided over by competent scholars. The healthy, manly sports of the day 
also receive proper attention. 

THE MAIL AND EXPRESS b- as n0 su P ei 'i° r as an advertising medium. 

■ , It is bought and read by men and women 

who have money to spend. Besides being read in all the drawing rooms of 
Murray Hill and' in all the clubs, it is circulated extensively in New Jersey, in 
Brooklyn, all over Long Island, in all the little towns and villages on the various 
railroads running out of New York, and it has a large number of subscribers in 
Washington, at the various State capitals, and in the large cities of the East, 
West and South, and is dispatched to the distant lands beyond the sea. It will 
pay, if you have anything to sell, or wish to buy, to make your wares or wants 
known through The Mail and Express. It is the paper that YOU cannot 
afford to be without !

Orders have been received for 80,000 Quick Action Brakes since December, 1887. 

The best results are obtained in freight train braking from having all the cars

CHAUTAUQUA. 





A QUARTER of a million people are closely connected with Chautauqua, a. 
summer city, an ideal community, a center of educational influence. Plato's 
" Republic," More's " Utopia," Bellamy's " Looking Backward," are dreams. Chau- 
tauqua is a reality, great in its achievements, far greater in its possibilities. Chautauqua 
says to the student, the teacher, the clergyman, the lawyer, to young and old, "Come 

to these groves, study, listen, develop 
your bodies, refresh your minds, be 
broader, wiser, better ; true recrea- 
tion is found not in idleness but in 
change of occupation." Chautauqua 
is a city where public functions are 
carried beyond the usual limit, to 
provide instruction and amusement 
free to all citizens alike. 

But Chautauqua has more than 
mid-summer life. To those whose 
lives are passed in homes and shops, 
to all who are ambitious, who loathe 
the joyless monotony of common- 
place existence, Chautauqua comes 
with intelligent plans for systematic 
self-education, bidding them remember that "education ends only with life itself," and 
that it is never too late to accomplish something,— the very effort bringing pleasure. 

The season of 1890 (July and August) will be especially attractive. The educa- 
tional departments will be under the care of distinguished professors from the lead- 
ing colleges and universities. Among many famous speakers may be mentioned : 

Dr. H. B. ADAMS, Dr. JAMES M. BUCKLEY, Mr. EDWARD BELLAMY, Hon. W. C. P. BRECKEN- 
R1DGE, Dr. J. A. BROADUS, Mr. A. P. BURBANK, Mrs. HELEN CAMPBELL, Reu. RUSSELL H. CON-

LIMITED. 

SAFETY, SPEED and ECONOMY are the results of the vise of Galena Engine, Coaeh and 
Car Oils for the lubrication of locomotives and passenger and freight cars. Scientific and prac- 
tical tests of the past twenty years have demonstrated the fact that Galena Oils are superior 
to any other oils in the market. These oils have been adopted as standard railway lubricants 
by a majority of the leading railways of this country. Galena Oils in winter stand a cold test 
of ten to fifteen degrees below zero, and will not freeze in the coldest weather. Being made 
heavy for summer use, they are also adapted to extreme heat, and their use assures entire free- 
dom from hot journals at all times and under all circumstances, except when these are produced 
by mechanical defects. Their superiority is demonstrated by their exclusive use upon so large 
a majority of the leading railways of this' country. Galena Oils are in use upon three continu- 
ous lines of railway from Boston and New York to the Pacific Coast, and upon one continuous 
line to the City of Mexico ; thus demonstrating their adaptability to all climates and all tem- 
peratures. As they are entirely free from gum, they ai-e not affected as other oils are when 
used in sandy and dusty districts. They are superior to lard and other animal oils, and in their 
use a saving in the wear of brasses, pins and links is effected. There is also a saving in fuel 
for the reason that a locomotive will haul from two to four cars-more to a train J »ad than when 
lubricated with other oils. Repeated tests have shown as high as 15,000 to 20,000 miles to one 
oiling with Galena Oil. Having made railway lubrication a special study for many years, both 
from a practical and scientific point of view, we can offer to our patrons an experience that 
guarantees them entire satisfaction in every instance. 

Testimonials and references will be furnished cheerfully upon request.

(Visitors can be comfortably accommodated from June 1st to 201 li, at $2.00 per day.) 

OPEN JUNE 20th TO SEPTEMBER 20th. 

This well-known Summer Hotel is situated on one of the Eastern ledges of the summit of the 
Catskill Mountains, 2,250 feet above tide water, and by reason of its peculiarly advantageous

Hudson Valley which stretches out from the base of the Mountains below, to the Adirondaeks in 
the North, the Green Mountains and Berkshire Hills in the East, and the Highlands in the South, 
embracing an area of 12,000 square miles, with sixty miles of the Hudson River in the foreground. 

THE MOUNTAIN HOUSE PARK 
has a valley frontage of over three miles in extent, and consists of 3,000 acres, or about five 
square miles of magnificent forests and farming lands, traversed in all directions by many miles 
of carriage roads and paths leading to various noted places of interest.

and Palenville Overlook on South Mountain, from which the grandest views of the region are

forests rendering it absolutely free from Malaria. It affords relief to sufferers from Chills and

WAWBEEK LODGE, ADIRONDACKS. 

Latest among the new hotels in the Adirondacks is the Wawbeek Lodge, situated at the well- 
known Sweeny Carry on the west shore of the Upper Saranac Lake. This lake is considered 
one of the most beautiful in the region, none surpass it in charming combination of Lake and 
Mountain Scenery. The Wawbeek, 100 feet above the level of the lake, commands one of the 
most beautiful views in the Adirondacks. The house is entirely new, built this season, and is 
one of the best finished and appointed hotels in this region. The public rooms are spacious, 
and the sleeping rooms large and well lighted, and arranged so that most all look on the lake. 
No pains have been spared to make it comfortable in every respect. Water is supplied from a 
pure spring and running brook. Tents will be placed within easy reach of the hotel for those 
desiring out-door life. A physician will be in attendance. Telegraph and Post-office in the house. 

The Wawbeek may be reached via N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. to Albany, and D. & H., and 
Chateaugay R. R. to Saranac Lake, or via N. Y. C. and R., W. & O. R. R. to Norwood, and per N. A. 
R. R. to Tupper Lake, and thence by stage. Term $3.50 per day; special arrangement per week.
